While there are many reasons to use plastic in our daily life for its durability, affordability, and multi-functionality, but there’s this reason to make you think twice before using them – the harm to the environment.
What do you know about plastic recycling?
Most plastic lasts forever; otherwise, it takes more than a lifetime to decompose. Each year, the world produces more than 300 million tonnes of plastic, which could end up being left in landfills or wind up in the ocean, becoming the biggest pollution to the planet.
Currently, around 2,500 tonnes of plastic are being sent to landfills daily, which is equivalent to 12 billion plastic bottles. According to some statistics, with those being sent to landfills, 9% of the plastic waste will be recycled, 12% will be burned and the rest will be ended up reminded in the land or went to the ocean.
What are the best solutions for plastic waste management?
Reduce and reuse – Cutting back the use of disposable plastics and switching to reusable items are small changes we could easily do but bring a big impact over time.
Recycle and upcycling – Transforming plastic waste into everyday products will minimise the use of virgin plastics, thus, a lot of energy could be saved as energy consumption for plastic production is significant.
